Their baby girl is here! Chrissy Teigen and John Legend have welcomed their first child together. The couple welcomed a daughter on Thursday, April 14.
“She’s here! Luna Simone Stephens, we are
so in love with you!” Teigen captioned a photo on Instagram, which
clocks their daughter’s weight in at 6 pounds, 11 ounces. “And sleepy.
Very sleepy.”
Legend added his own celebratory tweet as
well, telling fans, “Our new love is here! Luna Simone Stephens, born on
Thursday, the 14th. We couldn’t be happier!”
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit
model, 30, announced in October that she and Legend, 37, were expecting.
(One month earlier, she revealed that she was struggling with
infertility.)
“As many of you know, we’ve been trying to
have a baby for a while now. It hasn’t been easy, but we kept trying
because we can’t wait to bring our first child into the world and grow
our family,” Teigen captioned an Instagram photo of the pair at the
time. “We’re so excited that it’s finally happening. Thank you for all
your love and well wishes. I look forward to all the belly touching!”
In February, the Cravings cookbook
author revealed that she and Legend had selected their baby’s sex
through in vitro fertilization (IVF). Teigen responded to critics via
Twitter, writing: “I am not mad at anyone’s beliefs but I don’t really
actively seek out people to make them feel bad about their decisions
either.”
Despite the negativity, Teigen and Legend
stayed upbeat about becoming first-time parents. In fact, the “All of
Me” singer has already written new music about his baby girl. “There’s
definitely songs that I’ve written about being a new father and thinking
about what that means,” Legend told Us Weekly at the AXE
Collective + Crew Powered by SPIN at SXSW event in Austin, Texas, on
March 16. “I think she’ll probably be a mix of us and I think that’ll be
a good thing.”
Legend also opened up about seeing a
different side of Teigen during her pregnancy. “I think pregnancy in
itself is a beautiful thing and it’s an exciting thing, and I think
we’ve really enjoyed – or at least I’ve really enjoyed — seeing what her
becoming a mother brings out in her. I think it’s beautiful,” he said.
“You start to evolve a bit when you know you have a new life that is
growing inside you and you’re about to bring into the world.”
